Paramedic Services Launch the 2010 Toy Drive

The County of Simcoe Paramedic Services are pleased to announce the launch of the eighth Annual Toy Drive, benefitting local children and families during the holiday season. Donations of new, unwrapped toys will be accepted at various locations and parades across Simcoe County.

Since its inception, the County of Simcoe Paramedics Services Toy Drive has collected more than 20,000 toys, $30,000 and 7,600 pounds of food from the generous residents of Simcoe County. All donations will be distributed to local children and families in need by charitable organizations working in partnership with Simcoe County Paramedic Services. Residents are being asked for their continued generosity and support in helping those in our region most in need celebrate this holiday season.

Donations can also be made at the County of Simcoe Administration Centre, 1110 Highway 26 in Midhurst during regular business hours and at all Simcoe County Paramedic stations, where outdoor drop boxes are now available.
